v ASH RECEIVER.

Application filed larch 20, m4. Ser1al m. 700,052.;

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Josnrrr S. Pmn', a citizen of the United States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia,

have invented certain new and useful Imv provements in Ash Receivers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact-descri tion of the invention, such as will enable 0t ers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same:

This invention relates to ash receivers, and more particularly to cigarette ash receivers.

One object of the invention is the pro-( vision of a cigarette ash receiver that may be carried by two fingers of one of the hands in position to permit the ashes on a cigarette to be readily deposited therein and to prevent the accidental spilling of the ashes therefrom.

Anotheraobject of the invention is the pro- I vision of the cigarette ash receiver that may be carried by the ring and middle fingers of the hand in position to-permit the ashes on a cigarette carried by and between the thumb and index finger of the hand to be deposited therein by a slight lateral movement of the fingers carrying the cigarette or by vibrating the receiver through the medium of the little finger.

, A further object of the invention is the provision of a cigarette ash receiver of the character set forth the parts of which are of such configurations and so relatively arranged so as to produce a highly artistic effect, which vshall be simple, durable and efiicient, which may be readily and quickly applied to and removed from the hand, and which may be manufactured andsold at a comparatively low cost. 1

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the application of the ash receiver and the manner in which a ci arette is to be held when depositing the as es thereon in the receiver, I I

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the ash receiver, a v

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the plane indicated by the line 3-3 of Figure 2, and

- Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on the plane indicated by the line 4-4 of Fi re 2. Referring to the drawing by re erence numerals, 1 designates the bowl of an ash receiver constructed in accordance with m lnvention. The bowl 1 is preferably ellipt1 cal in outline. The side wall 2 of the bowl 1 1s curved upwardly and inwardly and the bottom wall 3 of the bowl has a raised cen tral portion 4 which, together with the formation of the side wall, prevents the accidental spilling of the ashes from the bowl. A wipin plate 5 curves upwardly and outwardly rom one end of the bowl 1, and the adjacent' part of the side wall 2 and the plates are corrugated as at 6. The corrugations 6 strengthen the wiping plate 5 and the adjacent part of the side wall 2, and they reinforce the connection between the wiping plate and the wall 2. A ring 7 is secured to the under side of the wiping plate 5, and it is arranged in a plane coincident with the vertical longitudinal center of the bowl 1. A curved lug 8 extends upwardly and outwardly from the upper side of the ring 7.

In practice, the ash receiver is applied to the front side of the hand in the manner illustrated in Figure 1. The ring finger passes through the ring 7, and the lug 8 engages the back of the middle finger and thereby prevents the bowl 1 and ring 7 from rocking on the ringfinger. The bowl 1 is supported at right angle to the front side of the ring and middle fingers, and the wiping plate 5 extends upwardly and over the ring finger. Owing to the position of the bowl 1 and wiping plate 5, the ashes on a cigarette held between the index finger and thumb maly be readily deposited in the bowl. To accomplish this, it is only necessary to move the lighted end of the cigarette along or across the wiping plate 5, or the cigarette may be held stationa with, its

lighted end in contact with the wiping plate able precious metal, they may if preferred, be made from aluminum or any other suitable base metal.

It should be understood that the drawin 5 is merely illustrative and does not preten to give exact proportions. Furthermore, the said drawing is illustrative of a preferred construction, it being my expectation that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention.

What is claimed is 1. An ash receiver comprising a bowl having a Wiping plate, and a finger ring connected to the bowl.

2. An ash receiver-comprising a bowl, a

finger ring carried by the bowl, and a finger engaging stop carried by the ring.

3. An ash receiver comprising a bowl,

a wiping plate extending from the bowl, a finger ringcarried by the bowl, and a finger engaging stop carried by the ring.

4. An ash receiver comprising a bowl, a finger ring secured to the bowl, and a wiping plate carried by the bowl and overlying the finger ring.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
